Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study prospectively evaluates the impact of geriatric assessment reporting in real-time (GARRT) on key hospital based outcomes in a cohort of non-electively hospitalized older (\> 70 years) adults with cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study evaluates the impact of geriatric assessment reporting in real-time (GARRT) on key hospital based outcomes in non-electively hospitalized older (\> 70 years) adults with cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to the GARRT group, or the control group. All participants will fill out user friendly questionnaire called the geriatric assessment. The results of the geriatric assessment will be given to the physicians of participants in the GARRT group in real-time. The physicians of participants in the control group will not receive real time results.

This study will compare the referral rates of participants in each group to determine if providing real-time results of the geriatric assessment impact referral rates.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

GARRT Arm

Participants in this arm complete an brief geriatric assessment, and the results of these assessments are given to providers with recommendations to address deficits identified by the geriatric assessment

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Results of the brief geriatric assessment

Intervention Type OTHER

Providers will receive results of the brief geriatric assessment with recommendations for address deficits identified through the results of the brief geriatric assessment

Control Arm

Providers of participants of this group will not receive the results of the brief geriatric assessments. These participants will receive standard of care treatment

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

No results of brief geriatric assessments

Intervention Type OTHER

Providers will not receive results of the brief geriatric assessment. Participants will receive standard of care treatment
